Abstract

We derive effective Hubbard-type Hamiltonians of κ\kappa-(ET)2X_2X, using an {\em ab initio} downfolding technique, for the first time for organic conductors. They contain dispersions of the highest occupied Wannier-type molecular orbitals with the nearest neighbor transfer tt\sim0.067 eV for a metal XX=Cu(NCS)2_2 and 0.055 eV for a Mott insulator XX=Cu2_2(CN)3_3, as well as screened Coulomb interactions. It shows unexpected differences from the conventional extended H\"uckel results, especially much stronger onsite interaction UU\sim0.8 eV (U/tU/t\sim12-15) than the H\"uckel estimates (U/tU/t\sim7-8) as well as an appreciable longer-ranged interaction. Reexamination on physics of this family of materials is required from this realistic basis.
